1 1/2 cup
dried oregano
1 teaspoon
dried thyme
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 teaspoon

Instructions
1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2

In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried thyme, and garlic powder to create the herb crust.

3

Dip each chicken thigh into the herb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

4

Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 5 minutes until golden brown.

5

Flip the chicken thighs and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

6

While the chicken is baking, prepare the creamy garlic spinach. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

7

Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until combined, allowing it to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

8

Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

9

Serve the herb-crusted chicken thighs on a bed of creamy garlic spinach, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
